Winnie Odinga has strongly criticized some political figures who she says have publicly questioned the positions of her father, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. “We have realized not everyone of these people believed in Baba. Wale wanasema sijui Baba alisema nini, hao ni watu wamekosa adabu,” she said, referring to individuals she feels lack respect for her father’s public statements.
Speaking passionately, Winnie said that her father always made his views clear openly and directly. “Baba alikuwa anasema maneno yake hadharani. Wanaongea sana, na tukiuliza maswali, wanasema tutoke kwa chama. Tutoke kwa chama, ibaki na nani? Chama ni ya wananchi,” she emphasized, highlighting her belief that political parties exist to serve the people, not the interests of a few leaders.
Her remarks come amid ongoing debates within the party, reflecting tensions between longstanding loyalists and newer voices who challenge established leadership. Winnie’s words have sparked discussions online about respect, party loyalty, and the role of citizens in shaping political movements.
